I really didn’t like the idea of asking anyone for donations to our cause. 47 , I watched my friends speak to the strangers, and noticed that they were extra polite to everyone—no matter whether they 48 . I realized that 49 I wasn’t pushy(强求的), it would be okay, and my conscience could be 50 .
I pasted on a large smile, and started asking people passing by. My mouth tripped over words, and I continually said “um” while I thought of the correct terms. 51 I talked to more and more people. Not only improved, but also started noticing small 52 . Instead of saying “donate”, which made most people walk away 53 .I started suing the word “contribute”. I added the phrase “every little bit counts”, and people started to donate small amounts in larger quantities. As the day went on, I learned how to pull on the hearts of the 54 , and I became a successful fundraiser.
At the end of the day, we all gathered at Alex’s house and 55 how much money we raised. I was so surprised; We raised over $300! We celebrated, and went home tired, but satisfied that we helped a great cause.

It was a cold winter morning. Half asleep at the train station, I stared into the distance, 31 for the train to take me to my 32in Boston. The world was quiet. The very few people on the street kept to themselves, 33 their steaming cups of coffee.
Reaching into my pocket as the 34 was approaching, my numb hand searched for the $ 20 bill to pay my fare. The pocket was 35! I searched through my bag and then I felt 36 . Unless the money dropped from the sky, I’d be 37 there.
“What’s the matter?” A short, elderly man stood before me.
“Oh, nothing…Well, I 38 my money and now I can’t pay for the ticket. I’m going to 39 my math class and the train is leaving.”
“Here, use this.”
The man held a $ 20 bill. I looked up, 40 . People just didn’t do that any more. Everyone worried about their own 41 , rarely stopping to think about others, especially teenage strangers.
“Thank you, but no, I can’t.”
“ 42 it—go!” The man pushed me 43 the train. I bought a round-trip ticket, and he refused the change I 44 to give him back. I did not know what to say — a million thoughts raced through my mind, yet I stood 45 .
For the train ride I was silent. I began to see the world through 46 eyes. That man made a difference with such a simple 47 .
A week later I was at the train station again, with an extra $20 48 I saw the man. And there he was.
“Excuse me, sir, I believe I owe you this.” I 49 the money into his hand.
Failing to refuse, he said, “Just remember to do the same for someone in your shoes some day.” I smiled, 50 .
The elderly man is my hero. For many, heroes are famous, but my hero is a giving stranger who taught me a lesson in life. I will never forget his kindness.
